@PAGEawards LOGLINE: When a jaded detective is pulled into a duplicate Earth, suspended in time and crucial to humanity's survival, she must battle an unhinged scientist hellbent on destroying it.
COMPS: The Matrix meets I Am Legend
My paid option agreement includes a rewrite. After weeks of calls and emails, 5 revised outlines, 7 days of rewriting dawn-to-dusk, 2 days on a dialog pass, I'm ready to submit to the prodco. Gotta admit, it's a better script with more emotional beats. Hope it's well received...
Today, I had an awesome meeting with the ProdCo who's optioned my script to go through their notes. Working towards having a pre-production script early Dec for shooting early 2027 in Asia with a mixed Asian and Western cast. Some heavy lifting to do but I'm up for it😀.
Is my break-in going to be in the Asian movie market and not Hollywood? My first Option agreement is slated for production in Vietnam, and next week I’ve got a General with a prodco in Beijing for a “science-fiction-comedy feature film that we are currently developing”.
